What´s next? Chalkdrawing on Pioneer Way? Airplane Banners? Telegrams? Microcopters flying into the Y Combinator offices? Big band? Self-invitation? Roses?
I´m curious for the next ideas. It might be just natural that a platform made by hackers for hackers shows examples of how people try to hack the system. The recent examples might not be the myth creators but the YC partners know better about funny application stories. They might just be afraid to share too many stories as they will create new “expectations of expectations” on side of the applicants.
Beyond the recommendation system and some metrics, I´m convinced that Y Combinator is always reaching out for new circles and creatives. Just because 6 degrees of separation (recommendation) can bite into your neck too.
(Read Levi Strauss on hot+cold societies and the meaning of artefacts and cultural institutions. This might sound farfetched but I think it´s worth reading in this context. )
